# Bybit in Europe: how to sign up on Bybit EU

Updated: 2026-10-10. Facts checked against official Bybit pages.

If you live in the EEA, you sign up on Bybit EU (bybit.eu), not on the global site. Bybit EU GmbH is licensed under MiCAR by Austria's FMA and serves 29 EEA countries, except Malta. Register with email or phone, enter referral code 53152 in the referral field, then complete Standard Verification.

## Detailed answer

Since the MiCAR licence, new users from the EEA can no longer open an account on the global Bybit platform; they register on bybit.eu instead. Registration takes an email or phone number, a password and an optional referral code. Standard Verification is required before you can use any product, and Bybit EU may ask for an EEA proof of address dated within the last three months.

## Who uses Bybit EU

Bybit EU GmbH is the entity for residents of the European Economic Area. It holds a MiCAR licence from Austria's Financial Market Authority. The countries covered are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Malta is not served.

## Sign-up step by step

1. **Open the sign-up page** with the button on this page.
2. **Choose email or mobile number.** Enter it with the country code if you use a phone, and set a password.
3. **Enter referral code 53152** in the referral code field.
4. **Confirm you are not from a restricted country.**
5. **Pass reCAPTCHA** and enter the code from your email or SMS.

## Verification

Every Bybit EU user needs Standard Verification before using products and services. Advanced Verification is optional and gives higher fiat deposit limits. If Bybit EU asks for proof of address, upload an EEA document dated within the last three months.

## Use your real country

Bybit's terms say that false residence details can lead to account termination. Pick the country where you actually live.


## FAQ

**Is Bybit available in Malta?**
No. Bybit EU serves the EEA except Malta, so we do not show sign-up links to visitors from Malta.

**Where do I enter the referral code on Bybit EU?**
On the first sign-up step there is a referral code field next to your email or phone and password. Enter 53152 there. The field is optional.

**My country is missing from the phone list. Can I still register?**
Yes. Bybit EU says you can register by email as long as you are not from a restricted country.

**Which proof of address does Bybit EU accept?**
Only documents from EEA countries: a utility bill, a bank statement or a government residence document, dated within the last three months.
